Jake the 'special' Cob ridden today! *lots*

[beks the artist]

Hiya all,

Rode Jakes today. Haven't ridden him for a week! His loaner has been riding and schooling him - she rides him so well

My God, he is such a brat-pony! Special is not strong enough. You ask him, then you have to repeat yourself as he forgets what he is doing.

This Cob is 8 years old! I have so much respect for my loaner! I remembered why I just hack him (which he is fab at!) Hard work indeed!

Excuse my leg position, fully aware it is utterly rubbish - anyone is more than welcome to come up and work him for me!



Me laughing at the OH as I was shocked he went straight down on the bit and started 'trying' to work from behind!



Jakes has a nice Welsh Trot when he wants to work!!










Now proper brat pony came out to play!

Trotting poles - which he has seen millions of times before, he has jumped a 2'6 course before with fillers, but nope, today they were the scariest monsters!!

















Now the fun begins!!
Jumpies!

Hmmm... Wally-ponie!







And nope - I did not fall off!! Little whatsit!!!

He did jump it!





C.C if your nice! I know I am a pants-rider but Jakes doesn't make life easy!

It's his other loaner who is quitting the loan in the next couple of weeks, maybe.

Thanks everyone! He looks really fat (Ok I do call him fatty!) but he is pure muscle and quite fit at the moment! xx
